Hello,
there is no such line in /etc/hosts, unfortunately:
"##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost "
My IP is recieved through DHCP, so I'm not sure if it's permanent? As
for the advice regarding setting my computer name in the System
Preferences pane, I have already done that, but it doesn't seem to
affect the \u in terminal.
Here's a shot in the dark.
The file /etc/hosts most probably has a line containing host-xx-xxx-
xx-xxx, associating the host name with an IP address, looking
somewhat like this:
10.11.12.14 host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx
Edit that line and add laptop:
10.11.12.14 host-xx-xxx-xx-xxx laptop
I think that should do the trick. In order to permanently change
the hostname, I believe you would need to modify the file /etc/
hostname and/or /etc/nodename. You would need root privileges for
that.
